Qa-18, 27 February 2018, Statement Of The Spokesperson Of The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hami Aksoy, In Response To A Question Regarding France’s Statement On The Telephone Conversation Between Our President And French President Emmanuel Macron

Republic Of Turkey Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 27.02.2018

Contrary to the statement issued by the Office of the French President
regarding his telephone conversation with our President yesterday,
President Macron did not refer to Afrin in the said conversation when he
talked about the UN Security Council Resolution 2401 on the humanitarian
situation in Syria.

Our reaction to the difference between the content of the telephone
conversation and the statement issued by the Office of the French
President, which shows lack of candor, and the impropriety of misinforming
public opinion despite the fact that the conversation was recorded, has
been communicated to the French authorities.
